I've been making self-sustaining fish tanks (like with pond life) for a couple years
So when i decided to do my research on these guys I did the same. I started by using completely organic gardening soil. I added snails, slugs, redworms, earthworms, grubworms, leaf litter, half of an old terracotta pot, 2 small rocks, live plants and a small water dish. When I added soil I actually used my plant compost that was mostly done. It added more little critters and made more food for everyone. I'm about to put Medusa (mama) in a 20 gallon self sustaining tank.

The self sustaining enviornment is my favorite because it's easier to transfer for wild animals (easier on the animal) and makes care and feeding easier also. As well as being able to then observe the animals. They behave naturally because the enviornment is natural. And it's a great tool to teach my kiddos about nature and how ecosystems work.
